PREVIEW: ‘Brain Storm’

Beware of SPOILERS for “Brain Storm” in this report.

GateWorld is counting down the final five episodes of Stargate Atlantis, a series that over the past five years has helped to make the SCI FI Channel a top ten cable network.

This week viewers will see the premiere of “Brain Storm,” the sixteenth episode of the show’s fifth and final season. The episode brings Rodney McKay and Jennifer Keller back home to Earth, where the demonstration of a scientific breakthrough goes terribly awry. Here is how the network describes the episode:

Things heat up when Dr. Keller and Dr. McKay journey to Earth for a top-secret scientific demonstration by McKay’s former rival, who claims to have the remedy for global warming.

And from TV Guide:

Doctors Keller and McKay go to Earth to witness a scientific demonstration conducted by McKay’s rival, Malcolm Tunney (Dave Foley). Unfortunately, Tunney’s device creates a life-threatening situation. Bill Nye guest stars.

Finally, here’s a peek at some of the episode photos — head over to the Stargate Image Gallery to see the rest!

“Brain Storm” is written and directed by long-time Atlantis producer Martin Gero, and features some big guest stars: Dave Foley (The Kids In the Hall, News Radio), Bill Nye (“The Science Guy”), and real-life astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
